Non-woven combi flap wheels are versatile abrasive tools used for surface preparation, finishing, and polishing applications. They combine the benefits of non-woven abrasive material and abrasive flaps in a single wheel design.
Here’s how they typically work:
- Non-Woven Material: The base of the flap wheel is made of non-woven abrasive material, which is a synthetic fiber material that is abrasive and flexible. This material is often impregnated with abrasive grains such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide. The non-woven material provides a cushioning effect, allowing the wheel to conform to irregular surfaces and contours.
- Abrasive Flaps: Embedded within the non-woven material are abrasive flaps, similar to those found in standard flap wheels. These flaps are typically made of abrasive cloth or paper and are arranged radially around the wheel’s central hub. The abrasive flaps provide additional cutting action for more aggressive material removal and surface blending.
Non-woven combi flap wheels offer several advantages:
- Versatility: They can be used for a wide range of applications, including deburring, blending, finishing, and polishing, on various materials such as metal, wood, plastics, and composites.
- Conformability: The flexible non-woven material allows the wheel to conform to irregular shapes and contours, making them suitable for intricate workpieces and hard-to-reach areas.
- Uniform Finish: The combination of non-woven material and abrasive flaps helps achieve a consistent and uniform finish across the workpiece.
Non-woven combi flap wheels are commonly used in industries such as metal fabrication, automotive, aerospace, and woodworking for tasks such as removing rust, paint, and corrosion, surface conditioning, and achieving a smooth surface finish.
